Mojo Monkeys Going Soph
. Mojo Monkeys is a project formed by three in-demand Los Angeles musicians Singer/Drummer David Raven, Bassist Taras Prodaniuk and guitarist Billy Watts. Collectively they've logged time in the studio and onstage with such notable artists as: Lucinda Williams Keith Richards, Norah Jones, Dwight Yoakum, Bonnie Raitt, June Carter Cash, Mike Ness, Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, Dixie Chicks, Geoff Muldaur, John Trudell, Richard Thompson, Jim Lauderdale, Peter Himmelma, Buck Owens, T-Bone Burnett and many, many more. All band members had a hand in the songwriting and there's a tongue-in-cheek component that reveals itself in some of the songs such as "She'll be Alright" where Raven sings, "She's passed out on the floor again in her pink platforms and that purple wig. If she's a tortured soul, it doesn't show right now." A chirpy harmonica starts off the song, "The Mockingbird Song" which pokes fun at the LA live music scene with the lyrics, "There's a strange bitter bird in my tree, singing songs of sweet irony, 'bout how he's lost in LA and paying to play. At least now he's singing for free." http:// www.myspace.com/mojomonkeys77 Preview and Purchase Mojo Monkeys CDs |
